I did not copy functions.php over

2) did not @import parent theme’s default .css

I followed the instructions given here:

https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

Re child theme:
1. if you’re going to build your style on top of bp-default styles, then you should add @import rule to get bp-default stylesheet in your child theme’s style.css and BP will respect that and […]

aaaa….. IC what’s going on here…. previously on child themes you would include the BP default theme as an @import at the top of your child theme style.css this is no longer neccesary with the way BP 1.5 loads […]

So the code in my previous post doesn’t show. Since then, this is what I’ve included in my child theme’s functions.php file (and I have NOT done an @import within my style.css […]

Using @import in combination with linked CSS causes CSS load order issues, as the HTTP requests are not completed in sequence.

I would suggest researching and using the WordPress API wp_enqueue_style() to […]

@gregfielding my bad, that code above was for BP 1.5 beta 3 and this only prevents the adminbar.css from being enqueued via wp_head. So you can definitely use your own adminbar.css by @import in style.css of child […]

Sorry, I don’t know why it does that with code tags.
Put this:

/* Inherit the default theme styles */
@import url( ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css );

/* Inherit the default theme adminbar styles */
@import url( ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/adminbar.css );

@1stAngel I have not used the Atahualpa theme but try adding this to your theme’s style.css file :

`/* Inherit the default theme adminbar styles */
@import url( ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/adminbar.css );

@linkyou, add this to your theme’s css: /* Inherit the default theme styles */ <a href='https://buddypress.org/community/members/Import/'></a><a href='https://buddypress.org/community/members/Import/'>@import</a> url( ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css ); /* Inherit the default theme adminbar styles */ <a…[Read more]

If you are talking about the adminbar (very top) then the template plugin references the file from the bp-default theme in the buddypress plugin directory but you can disable that file and code your own styles or place a copy of the file in your themes folder and add an @import call to it in your […]

Ok, changed it to:

/* Inherit the default theme adminbar styles */
@import url(adminbar.css );

Not much has changed. This time the Admin Bar is now not showing right on the WP Dashboard as well as the site.

I hope that’s right now

/* Inherit the default theme adminbar styles */
@import url( ../../themes/los_angeles/adminbar.css );

That’s more like it!

Thanks for getting back to me. Ok, so just to clarify: I have moved adminbar.css into my theme. Then added this line to my style.css in my theme. /* Inherit the default theme adminbar styles */ <a href='https://buddypress.org/community/members/Import/'>@import</a> url( ../../themes/los_angeles/adminbar.css ); Is that right? If it is, then it hasn’t…[Read more]

It might be physically there but clearly the path to file is not correct or at least that’s the way it looks, simple test move the file into your child theme and add an @import call to the style.css in child root.

Somewhere those ‘unrelated’ changes must have been related in some way not apparent.

thanks mercime, that was really helpful. but actually, after reading your post, all i did was swap out the URLs in my child theme’s stylesheet, so now i have, /* Inherit the default theme styles */ @import url( ../../themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css ); /* Inherit the default theme adminbar styles */ @import url(…[Read more]

bump Ok for future references, here is exactly what I did for my arras theme, And so far, it’s pretty good. 1. Installed Arras + Buddypress. 2. Installed Buddypress Template Pack 3. Called the Buddypress Stylesheets into my theme (/* Inherit the default theme styles */ @import url( ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css…[Read more]

You can get all the styling for you custom theme in /plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/inc/css/default.css

In order for it to take affect in your theme you need to add “/* Inherit the default theme styles */
@import url( ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css );” into your custom css page.

../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/adminbar.css is my @import url
